How can I get jQuery.parseXML to work in node.js

I am trying to use jQuery parseXml in node.js

I get this error:

Error: Invalid XML: <?xml version="1.0"...

But the problem is not XML

The problem is node-jquery.js:

parseXML: function( data ) {
        if ( typeof data !== "string" || !data ) {
            return null;
        }
        var xml, tmp;
        try {
            if ( window.DOMParser ) { // Standard
                tmp = new DOMParser();
                xml = tmp.parseFromString( data , "text/xml" );
            } else { // IE
                xml = new ActiveXObject( "Microsoft.XMLDOM" );
                xml.async = "false";
                xml.loadXML( data );
            }
        } catch( e ) {
            xml = undefined;
        }
        if ( !xml || !xml.documentElement || xml.getElementsByTagName( "parsererror" ).length ) {
            jQuery.error( "Invalid XML: " + data );
        }
        return xml;
    },

Simply put, there is no DOMParser in node.js and no ActiveXObject ("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

Since I work on Windows, I would expect ActiveXObject to work, but no, it is not, the actual error swallowed by jQuery is not invalid XML, this means that ActiveXObject is not defined:

ReferenceError: ActiveXObject is not defined

Any workarounds for this? How can I get jQuery.parseXML to work?

This is similar to what should be implemented in the nodejs core. I would suggest using a module designed for XML parsing.

Do you need jQuery.parseXML to work, for example, are you trying to write code to go to the browser and run on the server?

Perhaps you can in node-xml2js in browserify browser

There is also libxmljs , which appears to be more XML than node-xml2js.
